Flock backlash could reshape local ALPR use, but company says change is up to police and lawmakers
StateScoop · August 14, 2026 · United States
StateScoop notes agencies in 23 states have canceled Flock contracts and that the company says the most substantive limits still belong to agencies and legislatures, not the vendor. Summarizes the seven-day default, case-number requirement, and misuse audits.
Why it is in the file
'23 states have canceled contracts' is a different (and later) rollback metric than NPR's 30 localities in February. Good for showing the wave continued into August.
